"How to Wisely Confront Powers of Darkness"
When Men - People - Go to War

Welcome to this month’s Global Prayer Storm Podcast! As we step into spring, a season when men go to war, I want to share with you how to wisely confront the powers of darkness. This message builds on February’s theme of moving beyond renewal into authentic revival breakthrough.

Our foundation today is Revelation 5:6, which reveals the Lamb slain, standing with seven horns (complete power) and seven eyes (complete knowledge), representing the seven Spirits of God sent into all the earth. This passage, tied to Isaiah 11, highlights the Spirit of wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, and the fear of the Lord—all essential in spiritual warfare.

Key Takeaways:
Spiritual Warfare Requires Discernment – We must ask the Lord, Whose battle is this? When and how should it be fought? Some battles are ours, some belong to others, and some are won in intercession rather than direct confrontation.

Worship is Our Warfare – Before engaging the enemy, we must first exalt the Lord, inquire of Him, and receive divine strategy.

Removing the Enemy’s Legal Rights – Many focus only on confessing sins but fail to displace the enemy. True breakthrough comes when we take our position in Christ and rebuke the powers of darkness in His name.

Kingdom Advancement Comes Through Five Keys:
Abiding – Cultivating intimacy with God.
Appropriation – Receiving divine authority.
Action – Stepping out in faith.
Anointing – Relying on the Holy Spirit’s power.
Advancement – Moving forward in victory.

There is no specific spiritual gift called “spiritual warfare” in the Bible because it is the birthright of every believer! You were born for this—to discern, intercede, and advance God’s kingdom on earth.

Let’s rise up, hear the Lord’s voice, and move forward in triumph!

A Visitation & Warning: Speak to the Rock—Don’t Strike, A Prophetic Key to God’s Promise
Season 7 | Episode 12

Have you ever felt frustrated or disappointed when circumstances don’t go as you expect—even when you believe you’ve heard from God? In this prophetic message, James G. shares a powerful encounter highlighting Moses’ mistake of striking the rock instead of speaking to it. As we learn from Moses’ example, anger and disappointment can keep us from fully entering into the promises God has prepared for us.

Join James G. and God Encounters Ministries as we unpack this cautionary word, dive into key Scriptures from the Book of Numbers and Ephesians, and discuss how holding onto anger or resentment can disqualify us from the very breakthroughs we’ve been believing for. Learn how to address hidden heart issues, receive God’s healing from past hurts, and walk in greater fear of the Lord—ultimately leading to deeper intimacy with Him and unlocking the next wave of revival.

Whether you are in leadership, ministry, or just seeking to grow in your relationship with God, this teaching is a timely wake-up call. Stay tuned for heartfelt prayer, practical wisdom, and a reminder that in every season, the posture of our hearts determines whether we merely watch from the sidelines or step into the fullness of God’s promises.

Key Topics: • Lessons from Moses on obedience and anger
• How disappointment and frustration can block your destiny
• Embracing the fear of the Lord for deeper intimacy
• Practical steps for releasing bitterness and offense

James outlines five classic characteristics of revival:

1. A Passionate Denunciation of Sin – True revival includes a strong confrontation of sin, as seen in historic revivals and preachers like George Whitefield.

2. A Revelation of God’s Holiness – Revival brings a profound awareness of God’s holiness, moving beyond legalism to divine revelation.

3. A Deep Awareness of God’s Love and Mercy – Revival is not just about conviction but also about experiencing God’s love, as seen in ministries like D.L. Moody’s.

4. A Heightened Consciousness of Eternity – Many modern churches fail to preach about heaven and hell, but revival restores urgency about eternal matters.

5. Experiential Conviction of Sin – True revival leads to deep personal conviction of sin, something that hyper-grace theology often neglects.

James also shares testimonies, including an encounter where he repeatedly prophesied that a man was “going to hell.” That man later had a near-death experience, spent 23 minutes in hell, and wrote a book about it. Goll shares that revival restores the full gospel message, including the reality of eternity and the necessity of repentance.
